Today President Biden had his motorcade stop to greet this little boy wearing a Navy hat in Yorktown, Virginia!

This is the kind of man I want as President!!

[Aristus]

1. Looks like the cap of a Marine officer.

White, with a gold USMC globe-and-anchor.

[soothsayer]

2. Well technically they're part of the Navy but I think you're right

[Aristus]

3. Don't say that to the Marines!

[soothsayer]

12. True dat!

[spike jones]

32. I really like the Marines' motto, "Simplify." :) n/t

[48656c6c6f20]

33. Simple fiddle?

[ShazzieB]

45. Semper Fi.

Short for Semper fidelis.

[MLAA]

51. Good one!

[Bucky]

54. We just call them simps for short

It's a term of endearment

[zipplewrath]

56. Dunno

I know what your saying, but I saw this on the floor at a main building in Quantico.

""

[samnsara]

10. i learned that when I toured the Pentagon..many years ago.

[catbyte]

30. My dad's ashes on the summit of Mt. Haleakala just spun into a dust devil

Dad was a Marine Raider, (1st Marine Div WWII Purple Heart & Silver Star) and razzed his buddies that had served in the Navy. ("Swabbie!&quot

[reACTIONary]

38. My dad was a "swabbie", they had their own...

... term for the Marines. I won't repeat it .

[catbyte]

44. Oh, I can imagine.

[VMA131Marine]

4. It's an enlisted hat

Officers hats have a gold band around the front

[Aristus]

7. Thank you.

I thought the globe-and-anchor was black for enlisted, gold for officer.

[underpants]

20. Lots of military in Tidewater

Not that you see a lot of Marines especially on the Peninsula (Yorktown).

[malaise]

5. I'd love to see the Insurrectionist in chief

attempt a squat

Go Joe!

[GReedDiamond]

8. MF45 can only squat like that when he's shitting on The Constitution. nt

[secondwind]

29. 😂😂😂

[llashram]

55. ooohhh smack!

[Rebl2]

15. First his pants

would likely split open and then he would topple over and would need help up.

[malaise]

21. I'd pay to see that

[kirkuchiyo]

24. But think of the smell...

[malaise]

25. Well now that you mention that

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. He's already full-on incontinent, to hear some people in the know tell it.

On the set of Celebrity Apprentice, there was a crew member who was the designated "shower and change" guy.

That hypothetical squat would haunt you for the rest of your days. Don't even joke about it.

[malaise]

37. You're cracking me up man

[BobTheSubgenius]

58. I'll be here all week.

Please tip your servers.

[ShazzieB]

46. He might be able to squat down.

But he wouldn't be able to get back up without major help!

Joe Biden is in amazing shape.

[Demovictory9]

6. love it!

[AllaN01Bear]

9. get ready to cry.

sez aww.

[sheshe2]

11. He is a good man.

[niyad]

13. Sniff. Of course he did!!

14. What a wonderful memory this little boy will have. n/t

[magicarpet]

18. Mom has her camera up and at 'em,... so her son will have a nice snapshot of the moment.

Biden is such a nice guy.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

16. I loved the comment posted under this...

"to be fair, I'd be MORE concerned if a republican stopped to talk to a child" 😂😂😂

[tiptonic]

17. Looks like

Looks like a Marine Corp Dress Blues enlisted 'cover' (as in a cover for your head). Semper Fidelis.

[Rural_Progressive]

28. Yah, for sure

that's a dress jarhead lid.

[underpants]

19. Yaaay Yorktown !!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. That has to be the cutest thing EVER!

[Cha]

23. Rt TY.. & this is who we Got as

President! Forever Grateful!

[USALiberal]

26. I sure cry easier as I get older! This did it! Nt

[Wounded Bear]

27. K&R...nt

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

31. So very cool that

our president took that little bit of time to connect with someone and make it a great moment!

Joe Biden is showing on a regular basis that he is a "people's president".

[yellowdogintexas]

34. I'm working on our Democratic Woman's Club newsletter & decided to do a bit about this

Well dammit I can't get it as a jpeg so I can't use it.



Oh well, it would have been such a nice little article

[Budi]

40. Here try downloading one of these :

Maybe open one of these in a new tab & download it from that.
Hope it works!

[Botany]

57. Another view

36. That little boy is so young, he will very likely need the picture to make it real for him.

But just imagine. He and his mother will be telling that story occasionally for the rest of their lives, probably.


"Did I ever tell you about the day I met the Bodhisattva?"

[sprinkleeninow]

50. ...

'Bodhisattva'

[BobTheSubgenius]

59. One of my very favourite Steely Dan songs.

Skunk Baxter just lit that track up.

Weird factoid: Jeff (Skunk) Baxter was a missile defence shield consultant to the Reagan administration. I was more than surprised to read that, BITD.

[sprinkleeninow]

60. Hope ya didn't mind me barging in on your comment. 😊

[womanofthehills]

39. Ahh! So cute

It's nice to have a president who likes kids and animals.

[TallMike]

42. I give a hundred bucks

To see "the former guy" even hold that position. let alone even attempt it...
But then again, nah.
(on edit, i just threw up in my mouth a little).

[ShazzieB]

47. If Chump attempted that, the really funny part would be

when he tried to get back up again!

[denbot]

43. Dear God, that is a Marine hat!

Please, do not foul the aura of the Navy sea cap with Marine detritus.

[soothsayer]

49. Naval brethren (and sistren) tho ha

[crickets]

48. That is the sweetest thing.

What a prize for his next show and tell! I do hope he remembers it, at least a little, in years to come. Joe is just the nicest man in the world. Love our pres to bits.

[MustLoveBeagles]

52. This makes me smile

[oasis]

53. Biden's the One.
